As is usually the case with situations like this, some are reporting no problems at all; others are having a very difficult time getting OS X installed.

If you're having problems installing OS X v10.0 on a Beige G3, you're not alone. It appears they may be susceptible to issues surrounding 3rd party hardware and/or previous OS X installs. This thread on the MacNN forums has a good discussion on how to get it installed and running, and discusses some of the issues people are facing.

No problem!
Install was a snap. I installed 9.1 and then OS X on the original 6GB ATA HD in my Biege G3. I also have a 2 GB SCSI drive that was partitioned in 2. It showed up as well. My add on USB card and connected misc. also seem to work properly. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
Some problems
I I wanted to install to a newly added Maxtor 20 Gb drive, master on the secondary IDE. No luck. The drive was grayed out. But I installed it on the original 6 Gb drive and everything works fine. I have read that 20 Gb drive would have to be partitioned, and Mac OS X installed on a partition less than 8 Gb.
No problem!
Anybody have any idea what happened to the forum at MacNN concerning the problems installing OS X on the biege G3. I'm not as fortunate as manyh people.
No Problems at all
All installed well on my Beige G3 Minitower no problem. I have OS 9.1 on one SCSI UW 4Gb drive, and OS X on another SCSI UW 4Gb. I also have a 9 Gb normal SCSI drive in there for other stuff. |
